Europa Universalis III Complete includes the original Europa Universalis III as well as the expansions In Nomine and Napoleons Ambition
Europa Universalis III delves deeply into the areas of exploration, trade, warfare and diplomacy. This epic strategy game lets players take control of a nation and guide it through the ages to become a great global empire. Unparalleled in its depth and historical accuracy, Europa Universalis III gives the player unprecedented freedom in how they choose to rule their nation from an impressive choice of over 250 historically accurate countries.

Players can enjoy over 300 years of game play by starting at ANY date between 1453 and 1820.

Nation building is flexible: decide your own form of government, the structure of your society, trade politics and much more. The possibilities are endless.

The great people and personalities of the past are on hand to support you. Take history in your hands and call personalities like Sir Isaac Newton, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart or René Descartes to your court.

A lush topographic map in full 3D allows for a rich and complete world view, and contains more than 1700 provinces and sea zones.

Lead any one of more than 250 countries that originally existed during the game's extensive time span.

Have more than a thousand historical leaders and over 4000 historical Monarchs at your disposal.

Manage more than 100 individual unit troops to secure as much power as possible.

Co-operative multiplayer mode allows several players to work together to control a single nation.

New Missions Countries will now have specific missions tied to actual historical events which players may complete for bonuses. Players are not required to complete these missions; however, these features will give players who want defined goals a more structured path.

New Decision System World leaders will now have a better overview of the decisions needed to shape the future of their country. They will also have expanded control over the future of their countries on both the provincial and national level.

Rebels with a Cause Rebels with specific goals and abilities will rise to challenge players every step of the way. These 'rebels with a cause' will all have their own unique grievances and can be negotiated with or completely eradicated, at the player's discretion.

Religious Tolerance Religious tolerance now depends on the ideas and decisions taken by world leaders, adding a new layer of strategy. Political and religious dissidents can be handled in a number of effective ways, from excommunicating wayward rulers to organizing crusades.

Features included in Napoleon's Ambition:

Expanded Timeline The expanded timeline includes new content such as new leaders, rulers, advisor wars, countries and national ideas as well as dozens of new units for more tactical choices.

Historical Options With hundreds of new events, players will be able to see their rulers, leaders and advisors appear on accurate historical dates.

Improved Interface The new trading mode for the map displays all goods that will be produced in each respective province, including the value of the goods. This means the ledger will have more pages, including information about colonies and leaders.

Enhanced Trading System The new trading system will let players to automatically send merchants to specific trading centers. Players can choose the trading centers they most want to focus on, and the game will automatically take care of the necessary trading actions. This system also includes a new rule for overseas trade where players will have to use war or diplomacy to give merchants access markets.

Misleading title: expected to be able to build an empire of pikemen and farmers on Jupiter's moon Europa but the game's setting is apparently stuck on Earth with no options for a 14th century space program because the Pope says it is heresy.

I would still recommend anyway if you're into petty earthly conflicts.

Highly recommended game, absolutely worth the money, got it a couple of days ago and ive been playing it nonstop! dont be detered by the somewhat crappy tutorial, the game explains itself as you play (after a few restarts ;) ) the only bad points i can come up with are that at high game speed the pop ups can occasionally become somewhat overwhelming and you end up missing stuff, but this is to easily fixed by just playing at a lower speed anyway. i was extremely impressed by the sheer amount of different available starting nations, from Scotland to The Golden Horde (and everywhere inbetween) and also by the fact that you can pick your starting date to the exact day, of the exact year that you want, anywhere inbetween 1399 and 1820, with historical events that happened at that time irl, shaping the world in game, allowing you to reshape world history however you want. in addition to that the game includes an extremely indepth system of government, which you can tweak however you want, as long as you dont mind the instabily and revolts that may follow if you try to change your policies too rapidly, or you overtake a province not used to your tyrannical, ironfisted rule. I could go on but id much rather you just scrolled up and bought the game so you can experience it for yourself. What are you waiting for? The world isnt going to rule itself....

It's not that exciting, but oddly it's extremelly addicting. I mean when you realize it you've been playing it for 5h non-stop. It's that good, has some deep mechanics, and not easy at all.

Its engine is amazing. With that I don't mean graphics or what not, but the historical simulation aspect. If you leave things be, everything mostly turns out like in the real world, but trying to change the natural course of history is very cool.

The main value of this game is first unlocked with the Expansion packs Heir to the Throne, and the Divine Wind, which is what i will be giving a review of.

The game's graphics are average, nothing fancy here...

However, for replayability, it is almost impossible to run out of countries to play, from the Americas to Asia, and from Africa to Scandinavia. There are more than 250 countries to play as through history, from Napoleon's France, to the (I think Qing Dynasty??) In China. The map also has more than 300 provinces to capture and rule.

Story-wise: You make your own story, for your chosen country, say you're Norway, can you break free from the claws of Denmark and re-establish your former glory? Or Brandenburg, who is struggling with being part of a "Personal union" with Luxembourg. etc.

Aside from that, there's little events that pop up at random points during gameplay. This can be lots of things, from a meteor sighting (Those are nasty) to gaining a free advisor!

So if you fancy gameplay over graphics, then this is probably a game for you!

If you're interested at all in grand strategy games, you should definitely play something from the EU series. EU3 itself is mature and full of content; I still prefer it to EU4 for single player sessions, though the new EU4 expansion, the Art of War, may just change that.

Much better than the new EUIV. This version feels less "gamey" and more like a history simulator with a living, breathing world coded in. That makes the learning curve a bit steeper, but accomplishments seem all the more grand. The graphics are a bit dated, however I see this as a plus as even the cheapest of laptops can run the full experience. I cannot recommend this game highly enough!

Empire Total War looks nice and has real time battles but EU 3 is a far better game in terms of diplomacy, war, empire management such like. Make sure you get all the expansions as EU 3 Complete isn't complete. It misses the last couple of expansions Heir to the Throne and Divine Wind which make a big differrance to the game. This was included in EU 3 Chronicles. So remember this if you have also played the demo which didn't include these.

I've barely covered what is contained in this game in terms of the hours I've played so far and the content but surfice to say this is quite comprehensive. I don't feel the need to get EU4 anytime soon. I also recomend For The Glory which is an improved version of EU2

I simply love this game, I made Steam account only to activate free key I got from Paradox. I used to play this at friends house. I spent hours there till their parents almost banned me to be friends with their son :)

EUIII with last addon is extremely complex game, offering you many challenges and allowing you to make your own decisions, define your own terms of victory. Do you want to conquer world? Dominate the Holy Roman Empire? Spread Orthodox beliefs? Restore the almighty Byzantine Empire starting with 2 provinces against mighty Turk? (My favorite :)) Or just form a super-rich Trade league? Or conquer Europe as Japan?

All of this in one game spanning centuries in past. Playing from 1399-1820 takes about 30 hours. Are you up to the challenge?

Do you know of the great Swahili Empire? Starting in 1399, The Swahili Sunnis rapidly expanded along western Africa, by 1430 they had taken Ethopia, Mutapa, and Adan along with smaller provinces. They bid their time, eyeing to make the Hajj to Kabba in Mecca, but under a different set of circumstances. They struck in the early 1500s, after a series of insults and casus belli was declared. The Swahili Empire soon spread to the far reaches of Morrocco and Algiers to standing at Byzantines Walls and along the Caspian Sea. Rather than foolhardedly attacking Europe and risking another crusade, The Swahili's played a defensive war along the European front, instead focusing on the east. Soon the Swahili's, after many years of consolidating the Muslim world, the conquest of India and South East Asia in the 1600s, turned their eyes to Europe. They broke through Southern Russia in an attempt to avoid upsetting the Catholics hoping they wouldn't give two ♥♥♥♥♥ about the Orthodox heathens, Alas! Most of Europe declared war upon the Swahilis, After a series of mishaps and severe losses on the battlefield. The Swahili was swept back to present day Turkey by about 1760s. India at this point also had several intense rebellions, and along with a huge blow to prestige the Swahili Empire crumbled and peasent rebellions littered the middle east. By the time the Swahili Empire had subdued and put to rest the rebellions. It stood at about 1850s Ad. By this time France Had been on the warpath in Europe. England, Italy and Spain lay as their vassals, and Austria, Poland, Russia were breathing their last breath. By the time the Swahili Empire had started to move their troops to Granada and Turkey France moved like a tank powered by a jet engine. First Granada, then Morrocco and Turkey. France then cut a swath south torward Yemen cutting the Swahili Empire in two. The Indians rebelled and soon were occupied by France. By 1950 the Swahili Empire was no more, and France lay as Supreme empire occupying most of the three continents.
